Folks, PLEASE take the political commentary elsewhere. There are many

This is precisely why I suggested not responding to trolls. The person
who started this thread must surely be sitting back and grinning at his
handywork.

The philosophical and political ramifications of robotics is fair game for discussion in a robotics forum. And just because the original poster was troll (and a fairly uninteresting one at that), doesn't mean a more engaging conversation can't take root. Personally, I find intelligent discussion to be an effective way to both poke fun at trolls and diffuse flame wars.

If you're not interested in this thread, you're certainly under no obligation to participate.
